National Homeless Youth Awareness Month
1 in 13 youth experience homelessness. Bridge is changing that.
Bridge is Boston’s foremost agency providing life-changing services for homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth. For youth who need help, Bridge provides more than just shelter and a warm meal. Bridge helps youth find pathways to education, mental health counseling, career development, transitional living solutions, community support, and more.

Uncovering the Truth Behind Youth Homelessness
Through November, Bridge will be featured on digital, MBTA and street-level signage in the greater Boston area. This campaign is called #WhatISayWhatIMean, and is focused on sharing real quotes, directly from our youth, about their experience of homelessness.
A youth might say to a friend, “I like working overnight shifts,” but the meaning hidden behind their words is, “I don’t have a place to sleep at night.”
This powerful and personal campaign inspires us to learn more about youth homelessness and the young people it affects.
